Last night at work, I was cleaning the nurses's station. There were a couple of Halloween boxes that someone had brought us candy in. Well, they'd been tied close with about 12 inches of orange and black grossgrain ribbon....I couldn't just throw it away! So, I took the ribbon off and brought it home! I just couldn't trash perfectly good grossgrain ribbon!

That is right! Don't waste perfectly good ribbon! I did that at my nephews birthday party. My sister threw all of it in a pile to be trashed and here I am picking thru it!

there is no shame in that. I would have done the same. Good find.

Way to go girls - It is always better to recycle things than throw them away!!!! Keep it up!!

Ember, you are too creative. I never think that when I see an old lady! LOL

I would definitly save the ribbon too! I like my "found" things better than my bought things!

I am using the ribbon from my girls hair when they had there spring gymnastics show I will use that ribbon on the pages of the same spring show.
